 Best swaddle blanket out there, period! May 21, 2008
Kelly J. Silva (Seattle, WA)
We used half a dozen different types of blankets for our son when he was a newborn and this was the best, by far.
The most important thing is the size. It is big enough to use as a swaddle blanket for several months. Our little guy quickly outgrew the standard size receiving blankets.
This blanket is nice and lightweight, but still warm and cozy. The material is soft and washes well. I love this sage dot pattern because it is gender neutral.
The blanket material has no "give" so your little one won't undo the swaddle. It stays nice and snug, unlike the swaddle blankets that have velcro and are made with stretchy material.
It is very basic and simple (unlike one swaddle blanket which I ordered that was the strangest shape and required so much wrapping). And for those sleepless nights when you're on auto-pilot, there are even swaddling instructions located discreetly on the blanket's tag.
I would recommend purchasing two of these. We only had one the first time around since this was the last blanket we purchased (and the one we were finally happy with) so we already had tons of other blankets to use as backups when this was in the wash. We are expecting again and I'm buying a second swaddledesigns blanket, so I always have one.
Definitely worth the money!
The only square flannel receiving blanket on the market March 21, 2008

I thought it wasn't possible to have too many receiving blankets. I have more than I want to count. Within a month though after consistent swaddling, Amanda was outgrowing the receiving blankets we had, not to mention they were all rectangular which made proper swaddling a challenge.
I had a few of those kiddopatomas things and they're good too, but they don't give you the same snugness around the legs and feet that swaddling using a blanket does. I also didn't like using a blanket other than a flannel receiving blanket to swaddle because they were hard to get snug enough. So as Amanda was a February baby - she got swaddled and then we covered her with another blanket if it was chilly.
I really loved this blanket for it's size and shape. I never realized how hard it was to find a square receiving blanket until I was on the hunt to find something cheaper. I couldn't find anything cheaper. I also found that this blanket was a slightly heavier weight flannel than the ones that come 4 to a pack. Mine held up great in the wash and got softer with the frequent washings. We used it alot. Now that she's older, it will be a good lighter weight blanket too.
I also loved using it as a nursing cover. I frequently nursed while I was out and about and would try to find some quiet corner where I could throw this over my shoulder and amanda while she was eating. It covered everything I wanted it too.

I bought one of these receiving blankets because all of the positive reviews I saw here on amazon. I don't get why the ratings are so high! I wish I hadn't wasted my money. The material feels very thin and cheap, and pilled after the first washing. I also find that the size is actually too big for my newborn. And for the price, you could get 5 receiving blankets of better quality. We are much happier with our $4 waffle weave receiving blanket.
Wonderful Swaddling Blanket for Older Baby February 13, 2008

I bought one of these as an experiment for swaddling my 6 week old son who is a very active sleeper. He was very good at waking himself up, and I hadn't swaddled him since he was in the hospital. He outgrew the regular receiving blankets rather quickly, especially lengthwise, so I ordered one of these, a miracle blanket, and a few of the swaddling blankets with velcro. I really like this one because of the size, the softness, and the fact that it doesn't have velcro that wakes him up when I try to wrap him up in it.
Overall, I will buy more of these blankets to swaddle him in.
Best swaddling blanket out there! April 26, 2007
Janefree (Charlotte, NC USA)
I registered for one of these blankets and fell in love with it after only one use. My son grew so fast that the regular size receiving blankets were not big enough to swaddle him. This is the greatest size blanket. I ended up buying 3 more! I give this blanket as a gift to every expectant mom I know. A++++++++++++++
